Disk Capacity info not auto update the used size

When you expand the server hard drive or add a new hard drive, you need to first expand the capacity on the command line or mount it on the hard drive before it displays on the panel

aaPanel_Jose I means available drive space
e.g. I use 288GB now, when i add more file to the server to 300GB, the panel not auto update the available space, need refresh the page to update the available space

Because disk space is not the same as cpu, memory, network and other information, the usage rate will not be updated frequently. If the value is set regularly, it will increase the performance of the panel occupation, so do not consider adding it to the automatic refresh data

aaPanel_Jose but aapanel api have the updated available space

http://server_ip:port/system?action=GetNetWork

Yes, youre right,

We will first test his impact on performance, considering whether to add to the real-time update page

Yes, the info is very slow, once a week or so updating the HDD

Hello guys how do I manually update the disk size? I cannot find any guides

luckybhumkar

This issue continues to occur after 4 years.

There is no option or command to refresh or update the disk size after the expansion.

I have virtually expanded the size of the drive, 151 GB → 201 GB

The size shown in the aaPanel has still stuck at 149 GB (formatted capacity of 151 GB drive)

I've tried to disconnect and reconnect the drive, but it doesn't work.

Hello, after the server provider adds it, it needs to be expanded manually within the server operating system.
At the same time, there is a risk in expanding the space. You can ask the server provider to help you configure it.

your server provider already installed the additional virtual storage. however, you have to mount that additional storage manually. because you have root access privileges on that server. aaPanel has no rights to auto adjust your storage volume and it never has this features available.

aaPanel_Kern Drive size (200 GB) has showing accurately in the OS but aaPanel still showing cached value (150 GB).

aaP_demo1 The drive is extra storage attached to the VPS.

I've attempted to unmount and remount the storage several times. However, I have been unsuccessful.

The OS automatically updated the disk size, but the aaPanel is showing its own cached value.

aaPanel_Kern

Hello, please intercept the display of aapanel

luckybhumkar

aaPanel_Kern, please help how I will intercept the display of aaPanel.

aaPanel_Kern

The df -h command still displays 150G and requires you to initialize it.

After mount the additional storage using vgextend and lvextend, make sure you have to resize the file system using xfs_growfs. this utility will resize the file system to use the additional space on the underlying block device.

aaP_demo1 I have mounted additional storage without any command, thanks to Digital Ocean's one-click storage (volume) mounting feature.

I have expanded the storage via the same interface without executing any commands.

Then this command will work?

FYI, I have detached the storage and mounted newly built storage. Because, I haven't found a way to make aPanel show the correct storage.

Based on the image that @aaPanel_Kern replied to you above, it is recommended that you will manually initialize it. It could be using the command.

However, I suggest you to discuss with your hosting provider to help you well aware that your additional storage has been mounted to the server but have not manually initialized yet and ask them to help you configure that.

aaPanel_Kern

Hello, it is recommended that you contact the server provider for assistance
